>Description</H2
><P
>   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION</TT
> creates a new text
   search configuration.  A text search configuration specifies a text
   search parser that can divide a string into tokens, plus dictionaries
   that can be used to determine which tokens are of interest for searching.
  </P
><P
>   If only the parser is specified, then the new text search configuration
   initially has no mappings from token types to dictionaries, and therefore
   will ignore all words.  Subsequent <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER TEXT SEARCH
   CONFIGURATION</TT
> commands must be used to create mappings to
   make the configuration useful.  Alternatively, an existing text search
   configuration can be copied.
  </P
><P
>   If a schema name is given then the text search configuration is created in
   the specified schema.  Otherwise it is created in the current schema.
  </P
><P
>   The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner.
